Last night my girls wanted to look at their baby books. They always love looking at themselves as babies, and they enjoy listening to me tell stories about them. As I was looking through the books with them, I was just SO thankful I survived that part of my life! Don't get me wrong, I was really happy at this time. I loved all that motherhood offered. BUT I am so glad my girls are 5 and 3 right now. I would never-ever want to rewind. I'm really enjoying this phase of my life! I guess I'm thankful I lived through that time of my life, so I can enjoy this time a little more. Does that make me sound bad? Is that just an awful thing to be thankful for?Monday, November 16, 2009
Wow.

In other words, you're thankful to be getting a lot more uninterrupted sleep at night now and 3 consecutive seconds in a row that you can try to piece together a cohesive thought!!
I'm just as thankful as you are that my kids are no longer such helpless, defenseless beings anymore, even if I still think that babies are adorable!
I've really been enjoying reading your daily thankful things. We do a "Thankful Tree" every year. We have a leaf for each person for each day from the first Monday in November until Thanksgiving day. I have 7 posters up on the wall this year, one for this year, and the rest from year's past. It's so much fun to read back through them and be able to get a feel for what stages of life we were all at those years. Our Thankful Trees are one of my favorite things ever. I love having them all up on the wall for this time of year. I love to see how the trees have gotten bigger, too, over the years as our family grew.
I don't think it sounds bad...you had a lot of stress in your life for a couple of years...now you can sit back and enjoy your time with the girls without worrying so much!! :)
Ok, first of all I freaking love Raych's face in this picture! What is she doing? Second. I don't blame you at all for enjoying life now and not wishing to go back. Life was just stressful then. Now you can really enjoy your little princesses and love their personalities. I love you!
That was a hard time in your life, but you are such a great mom. Your kids have turned out awesome!!! They were such lil babies....hard to imagine that was only a few years ago....
